There was an issue with the upload popup box; it was placed in the background, making it impossible to upload custom domains. This issue has been fixed in the latest update

The new icon animation improves the UX. Now, when you move the mouse over an element, it enlarges to clearly indicate which bookmark or folder you have selected. If you prefer, this option can be disabled, allowing you to use Bookmer without animations.

The settings are being redesigned with a better structure, updated titles, and some new icons for a fresh look and improved user experience.

We are making several performance updates in this release:

• Icon loading: Some icons might change style due to updates in the data structure. Now, icons load faster, and loading issues that sometimes prevented icons from displaying have been resolved.
• Navigation bar: Previously, the navigation bar would close after right-clicking to open the dropdown. Now, it will remain open once you select it with a right-click.
• Pinned folders: We addressed performance issues that caused delays when opening the page. With the updated data structure, pinned folders now load instantly, enhancing the user experience.
• The Bookmarker.me URL is officially down, and all published pages have been migrated. The URL now serves no purpose.
• Some published pages were shut down after the removal of the Bookmarker URL, but this issue has been resolved.

From now on, you can get support directly through Bookmer. You can make the chat window visible, and if you prefer, you can also turn it off.

Optional now is the new Chat integration. It allows you to start a conversation directly to get help if needed. You can still use our contact forms, but Chat offers a quicker interaction.

Resolved issues with icons where mouse over interactions caused unexpected behavior. Icons now respond correctly to hover actions, improving the user experience with smooth and predictable interactions.

After more than three years, we have decided to change our name. We’ve chosen a shorter version to position ourselves for future growth and to build a strong, recognizable brand around it. While the name has changed, our connection to the original “B” logo remains intact and will continue to represent our identity moving forward.

The old domain Bookmarker.me will be deactivated on December 31. Until then, shared pages should be updated or linked to the new domain to ensure uninterrupted access.

We spent a significant amount of time exploring alternative names and even considered domain purchases. Ultimately, we believe this new direction is the best path forward, and we’re confident it adds tremendous value for our community.

With this, we fix many bugs, which greatly improves the user experience. We address various issues and introduce a bundle of new features.

Dark mode/light mode switcher

Now you can switch between dark mode and light mode, and set up a custom background image.

Background Color

You can optionally set up a background color instead of a background image now.

Fixing Drag and Drop

Now it is easier to drag and drop elements. In the past, there were some issues with mouse location. With the latest update, it has become simpler to drop elements into another position, a folder, or the navigation bar.

The navigation tab updates and decreases in size because of the auto-hide function

If you move the mouse over the navigation bar without pressing the icon, it remains visible only while the mouse is over the element. If the mouse moves outside the box, it disappears. However, if you type in the navigation tab icon, it stays visible until you click again on the navigation tab.

Access the folder editor via the navigation tab

Get direct access to the folder editor through the navigation tab. By right-clicking, you can open the editor directly. It is now clearer which folder you have selected, as it will be highlighted.

Global Search

One of the largest updates is the new global search function. It works faster and provides all results in a list view. You can navigate up and down using your keyboard for quick access. Pressing enter opens the link directly, or you can select the editor icon for direct access to the editor.

For the first time, we have integrated Shortkey, our web launcher. You can use it for quick access to your preferred search engine, such as Google, DuckDuckGo, or Bing. To modify it, navigate to Shortkey.org and set it up in the settings. Once you configure it and search for a term, it will launch and remember your search keywords.

Radius Modifier

The radius modifier helps improve user experience by allowing you to adjust the radius of icons. This is especially useful for small devices, like smartphones, as it makes it easier to see how the icon will look. Additionally, having a numeric display provides better guidance on which size is the best match.

Folder Editor

The folder has a new editor option that allows you to see and change the icon for each folder. You can select your own icon or choose a default one. Once you change the icon, it will also update in your navigation tab. The default icon is a simple folder icon. If you create a new folder, you can change its icon directly before finalizing the creation.

New Title Preview

Long text is now cut in the center and reduced in font size. If there is space, it stays in the regular text size. When the text is larger, the font size decreases, and the text is cut in the center. This means you will see part of the beginning and the end, making it easier to view long text elements in icon view.

This update, along with many others, enhances the overall user experience. We've made adjustments to improve loading speed and refined visual elements, such as mouse-over effects, to clarify navigation when you hover over elements.

This is one of the biggest Bookmarker updates since founding it includes many updates in the backend to improve the performance and over 50 minor adaptions, part of the main updates are this:

Custom Domain

If you set up a custom domain, you now have the option to specify where to direct users if they do not set a URL route, for example, to a folder or your main website.

Settings

• There is a new slider that allows you to add new bookmarks at the top. If this option is not active, the bookmarks will be placed below.

• If you don't often use the sharing folder, you can now optionally hide it using the hide sharing folder slider. When this option is active, the icon at the top will be hidden. You can still access the share function through the quick folder setting.

• The search function is always active when you start typing. If you prefer not to use this feature, you can now disable it.

• You can now change the radius of icons, switching from circles to solid boxes to make your bookmark collection more personalized.

Search

• If you start typing, the search function will always be active. If you don’t want to use this feature, you can now disable it.

• To search within the current folder, use the shortcut CMD + F or Ctrl + F. You can also use CMD + K or Ctrl + K to search globally.

• With the new slider option in search, you can easily switch between current folder search and global search.

Wallpaper

• Now you can set up a solid color as the background, which is an option in addition to the image option.
• Some issues with the preview are being resolved.

General Updates

• Drag and Drop functionality has been updated, making it easier to drag and drop bookmarks or folders into different positions.

• Some UI issues related to the archive function have been fixed.

• Scrolling issues pertaining to icons, especially on mobile devices, have also been resolved.

• The loading performance of icons in the new layout has significantly improved.

• To enhance loading speed, we now store more content in the local browser cache for a faster loading experience.

• The import and export system has been updated, allowing users to import bookmarks by hovering over folders or export all bookmarks through the settings.

From today, we are offering LoginSign as a login option.

LoginSign is a site project that began in 2023. Today, we are expanding this tool into Bookmarker. The idea is to make logging into other pages as simple as possible for users while maintaining privacy. When you log in with LoginSign, we do not have access to your real email address; instead, we generate an alias address to protect your identity. With a unique user ID, we can link your LoginSign ID to multiple services, allowing you to search your bookmarks, for example, through Shortkey.org.

Due to these privacy features, it is not possible for us to migrate your existing Bookmarker account to LoginSign.

When adding new bookmarks, you can now change the icon directly from the pop-up window. Just select the icon and modify it if you want.
